SB118:

Voter identification; identification containing a photograph required to vote.

Bill Summary:

Voter identification; identification containing
a photograph required.
Requires presentation of a form of identification
containing a photograph in order to vote. The bill repeals the provisions
of law permitting a voter who does not have one of the required forms
of identification to vote after signing a statement, subject to
felony penalties for false statements, that he is the named registered
voter he claims to be. Instead, the bill provides that such voter
is entitled to cast a provisional ballot. The bill requires the
Department of Motor Vehicles to provide voter photo identification
cards containing the voter's photograph and signature free of charge
to those voters who do not have another valid form of identification.
